Chapter 975
Even through the thick cruise ship walls, the disgusting smell still stubbornly seeped in, irritating everyone's nerves.
Although the ice rain had ended, the thick sea fog prevented Zhou Shuwan and his team from continuing to fly the helicopter.
With visibility less than ten meters, taking off rashly would undoubtedly be risking one's life.
So they could only continue to wait on the cruise ship, hoping that the fog would dissipate as soon as possible.
Time passed by little by little in depression and boredom.
The ice on the deck began to melt and dripped down the side of the ship, making a soft "tick-tick" sound.
In the cabin, Mu Mu leaned against the window, tapping the glass with his fingers anxiously.
Qi Mingyu was looking at the map, trying to calculate the next route.
Even that didn't work.
The map he had was the one they had drawn after months of sailing at sea, but it was now completely useless.
Zhou Shuwan sat next to the driver's seat, frowning slightly. His eyes looked through the porthole, as if he had penetrated the thick fog and saw the real scene outside.
Fortunately, the wait didn't last too long.
About half a day later, the sunlight tore a hole in the clouds in the sky, and golden light sprinkled on the sea. The fog began to dissipate rapidly as if driven by some invisible force.
The color of the sea gradually emerged, a mixture of blue and black.
It's really hard to like it!
"We can set off now." Zhou Shuwan withdrew his gaze and spoke in a calm voice.
Everyone took action immediately, boarded the helicopter as before, folded up the cruise ship, and continued towards their destination.
The helicopter's propeller rotated at high speed, making a dull and powerful roar, which was particularly clear on the open sea.
In the blink of an eye, they had flown forward several kilometers.
The sea was so calm that there were almost no waves, but Zhou Shuwan, Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu all remained extremely focused, always paying attention to the situation ahead and in the sky.
So, none of them noticed that beneath the sea, some eyes were quietly watching them, with excitement and fanaticism flashing in their pupils.
They spent the next few days almost stopping and starting.
Once they encountered a sudden rain of ice spikes, they would stop immediately and take shelter in the cruise ship;
When the weather improved, they continued on their journey without stopping.
In order to save time, Zhou Shuwan even refueled the helicopter in the air.
Qi Mingyu and Mu Mu took turns driving, which saved the time of refueling every time they landed.
Although this journey is hard, it is extremely efficient.
About ten days later, they finally arrived at the sea area where the underwater hot springs were located.
They flew for more than ten days and finally arrived at a sea area that was no longer severely polluted by dead fish as before.
There are few corpses in the sea here, and the foul smell in the air is not so obvious.
At least, the Zhou family can now tolerate it.
Everyone stepped onto the deck of the cruise ship again, and Zhou Shuwan put the helicopter into the space.
She sensed the direction below and said to everyone, "It's probably still two hours away. Let's go, Xiao Yu, you and Mu Mu, drive slowly and pay attention to your surroundings."
Qi Mingyu nodded, and walked into the cockpit with Mu Mu, concentrating on controlling the cruise ship forward.
Except for Zhou Shuwan, everyone else was completely unfamiliar with this place.
After all, since the polar night fell and the sea was covered with ice, this sea area has experienced countless violent crustal movements, and the seabed topography has long been changed beyond recognition.
Even those who have been here before would find it difficult to recognize its original appearance today.
Zhou Shuwan stood by the porthole, staring at the sea with a focused expression.
She was using her spatial ability to sense the situation under the sea.
However, her brows were furrowed tighter and tighter, and there was no trace of joy in her eyes, but instead a hint of solemnity.
